The Best and Brightest
Trump said America deserved better. So he brought in "the best and brightest" while giving the honorable and experienced the boot.
I think this quote from Cait Conley, former Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council, and Senior advisor to the Director of Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency sums it up:
"America deserves better. You know, when we should be showing the world that America is a superpower, we are instead showing them it’s amateur hour."
To add emphasis, this cartoon from Bill Bramhall says it all.

I've heard and read the word "amateur" more in the last three weeks than in the previous three years.
"If it walks, talks, and leaks classified war plans like an amateur, then it must be one."
